Handshaking his way around campus yesterday, student body Presidential Aspirant Carl Terzian told more than a hundred people why they should vote for him tomorrow.
Paired off in a series of speeches with his opponent for the top ASSC spot, Terzian began the day by addressing the engineering fraternity, Tau Beta Pi.
“The most important aim of student leaders must be to inform students of the many opportunities in political, religious, social, and service groups,” Terzian said.
Told of Opportunities The junior told the engineers that there are as many opportu nities for professional students and liberal arts students to participate in many phases of campus life.
A scattered audience of Junior Class Council members heard the two politicos continue their talks yesterday afternoon.
Terzian told next year's sen •iors that he wants a program ‘‘to inform students and to Increase opportunities for them to get closer to campus life.”
At dinner meetings of fraternities and sororities last night, Terzian and his opponent outlined their platforms. Terzian told his audience that an orien tation program should be set un to “better acquaint students with various phases of campus life."
Sums Up Philosophy At Harris Plaza last night, Terzian summed up his philosophy on student politics by saying that candidates with sufficient qualifications and sound platforms—not plenty of expensive posters—will help up achieve the goals of student govern-

College Grads Find Opportunities in PR
There are almost unlimited opportunities for college graduates in public relations, according to an expert in the field. These opportunities, he feels, are the result of the realization, during the past ten years, of the Importance of public relations by American businessmen.
Carroll R. West, vice president I of the Title Insurance and Trust | Co., believes that the job done by the nation’s public informa-1 tion service during the last war I had a tremendous influence on | the growth of the profession. West is also head of the Southern California chapter of the Public Relations Society of America, which holds its seventh
I annual conference here today.
| Company heads have come to realize that good public practices lead to bigger sales. This idea is borne out by the fact that many organizations now invite their public relations men to sit in on policy making sessions, acccording to West.
There was a time when most people thought of public relations men as hucksters with a sales pitch. That simply is not true any more. West said.
"The need for qualified men In the field is now greater than ever, and it’s going to increase," he said. "If a man is willing to start at the bottom—say at a salary comparable to that of a beginning reporter, the opportunities are almost unlimited."
8 Delegates Tell
Student Reasons
An eight-man senior Senate delegation, headed by ASSC President Jerry McMahon, asked the administration yesterday to retract its recent ruling and allow seniors to take their final examinations during Stop Week.
McMahon, speaking before the faculty Committee on Student Scholarship Standards,
West had some tips for hopefuls in public relations:
“Certainly most companies will prefer college graduates. And a degree in journalism will get a man in on th« inside track. If he expects to get to the top of his company he should have some business administrate experience, and it might not hurt to take a little accounting. Financial reports can ge* awfully Involved so he has to know how to read a balance sheet.
said he has b»en bombarded with protests from seniors who were "adversely affected" by the late announcement of the ruling laid down at the recommendation of the Committw.
The 15-man faculty committee listened to the seniors relate various examples of how the late announcement of the ruling caused definite hardships for the majority of the senior class.
Confidential Discussion After the senior representatives were excused, the faculty committee conferred confidentially to discuss the situation. Its decision will be announced through the administration.
“We are not here to do away with finals because we understand the importance of finals to the preservation of high scholastic standards. We want uniform early final exams for seniors this spring,” McMahon told the Committee.
“For two years It has been the custom for seniors to take early exams. Many planned the future accordingly and had no reason to believe otherwise until the late announcement,” he con-eluded.
Specific Case Cited ASSC Vice President Betty Metrger, using herself as an example, said she was engaged and planned to marry one week after graduation “and with early finals I thought I would be set.’ Having to study a week later will interfere with her wedding plans and possibly with her at-tendanos at the graduation ceremonies, she said.
Senior Class President Steve Robertson said, “I think the announcement was made in quite ample time from an academic point of view, but seniors have made other commitments which are now being hampered.”
He reflected senior opinion by stating that one graduate wiil lose $127 because of not h?ing able to fill a job commitment, and that others have been	gathering	at	the	senior booth in
front	of	the Student	Union
Building to present their protests to the ruling.
Committee’* Feeling* ‘Hurt’ Internationa) Relations Professor Paul E. Hadley, chairman of the faculty committee, told the seniors that the feelings of those	in	the	committee	were
“hurt" because students thought consideration for their problems was lacking.
He blamed much of the misunderstanding on the Daily Tro-
Jan and on the letter« written by students to the Sound and Fury column, which, he said, students take for fact Instead of p?rsonal opinion.
'We came to the recent conclusion on early final» because we were convinced that the method used in 1954-1955 led to confusion and laxity on the part, of the students and faculty,” Dr. liadloy Said.
He outlined the three situations that caused the confusion. (1) Some professor* gave two sets of tests, one to seniors and another to lower classmen. (2) Some professors gave no tests. (3) Some professor» required their seniors to take the tests at the‘regular time.

Hurst said that ths Bowl has announced a ticket selling contest for its lb.56 season. A round trip ticket to L'urope, for two, a taps recorder, .<nd a hi-fi set are among the prizes waiting for students who sell the most tickets to Bowl events, he said.
Thurber Life, Hard Times' Tops Readings
Selections from James Thur-ber’s autobiography were heard in yesterday's Noon Readings. Harry Reed, assistant professor of English, read from the humorist's recollections of “The Night the Ghost Got In” and "My Life and Hard Times.”
One of Thurber's most refreshing qualities is his freedom from the gimmicks, tricks, and format of most artificial comedy writers, Reed’ said. His characters and themes keep reappearing, but hi* philosophy is a matter of distinct interest, he said.
"A number of years ago Thurber said that, for some curious reason, man always assumed he was the highest of creatures. There's nothing to sustain this idea, and his superiority pests on a rather thin base," Reed said.
"He’s developed the tricks of articulate speech and abstract reasoning, but these haven't helped him as much as instinct has helped the lower animals.
“In fact, they've helped man become the least well adjusted of all creatures and consequently, the most bewildered.”
Harvard School Offers Interviews
Dr. Vernon Alden, assistant dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration at Harvard, will be at SC tomorrow to confer with students who are interested in attending the Harvard School of Business Administration.
Interviews will be arranged in the Dean of Student's Office between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Students wishing interviews should check with Mrs. Florence E. Scruggs, Dean Bernard Hyink’s secretary. ________________
